[19.04 FEAT] KVM: zPCI passthrough support for KVM

[bugproxy]

Enable KVM on System z to pass control over any kind of zPCI host device (a Virtual Function) to a KVM virtual server. This passthrough has to be supported in a hot plug/unplug fashion, too. Of course, the implementation has to be device type agnostic to support future PCI devices without having to adjust the underlying hypervisor. In support of cross CEC migration the translation of the Virtual Function ID has to be supported, too.

Function already available within kernel 4.11 and qemu 2.11.
Now new version of libvirt >= 4.9 will finalize the item

I planned for libvirt 5.0 so far.
you can never be sure, but >=4.9 it should be eventually.

Added a tag for tracking.

Can we mark that bug public at least towards the actual release of libvirt 4.9?

[Frank Heimes (fheimes)]

Glad to hear that v5.0 is the target.
Sure, ticket can be changed to public with the release of 4.9 - or even if work on this gets started in general.

in between libvirt 5.0.0 landed in disco's release pocket.
Hence changing status to Fix Released and closing.
